Prof. Dr. Z. Müge Akkar Ercan February 2011, 167 Pages Public spaces play essential roles in urban life for the city, the public and individuals, by setting strong relations between urban space and social and cultural values. Public spaces and their essential components have multi-dimensional impacts on people. Public art, as a constituent of public space, includes a wide range of artworks, activities and outcomes, contributing to the significance of the places in a variety of ways. However, each culture, country and city, has diverse policies and outcomes of public art based on different perspectives. Focusing on the public art policies in Ankara over the last two decades, this thesis seeks to examine how far the recent policies have contributed to the city. By carrying out in-depth investigation on the public art work interventions and policies of the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, the thesis assesses the multi-dimensional contributions of these policies and interventions. It seeks to discuss how far the public artwork policies of localities are crucial for creating genuine public spaces of cities.

Kamusal mekanlar ve temel bileĢenlerinin insanlar üzerinde çok boyutlu etkileri vardır. Kamusal alanın önemli bir yapı taĢı olan kamusal sanat, kapsamında çok çeĢitli sanat çalıĢmaları ve etkinlikleri bulundurur. Böylece kamusal sanat, mekanın önemine değiĢik biçimlerde katkıda bulunur.

Bu çalıĢma, Ankara‘da son yirmi yıldır uygulanan kamusal sanat politikalarına odaklanarak, bu politikaların kente nasıl katkı sağladığını ve ne tür etkilerde bulunduğunu incelemektedir. Bu bağlamda, Ankara BüyükĢehir Belediyesi‘nin kamusal sanat politika ve müdahalelerini derinlemesine inceleyerek, çok boyutlu etkilerini değerlendirmektedir.

Dr. Mowafaq Alsaggar. Yarmouk University; Faculty of Fine Arts; Department of Plastic Art. Irbid. Jordan. Email: [email protected] ORCID 0000- 0002-2854-2093 ** Prof. Dr. Monther Al-Atoum. Yarmouk University; Faculty of Fine Arts; Department of Plastic Art. Irbid. Jordan. Email: [email protected] ORCID 0000-0002-1093- 7345 Abstract The subject of the study is based on the three-dimensional art of drawing on the ground, also called the art of three-dimensional pavement art, as it attracts audiences for its strangeness and its implementation with techniques based on visual deception, achieving the third dimension, as well as the comical or political sense that dominates these works. The study also aimed to reveal the artistic, aesthetic, social and cultural dimensions of the three-dimensional street pavement art, deriving its importance from the problem arising from the need to identify the artistic and social dimensions in the art of three-dimensional street pavement art within the limits of contemporary arts. The most prominent results of the study were that some artists' works, such as the artist Julian Beever, were affected by political trends that aimed to achieve the principle of the right to live for all of humanity. Artist Kurt Wenner also brought out the issue of genetically modified animals.

  • An Insight Toward Experienced Reality
    Power Struggles in the Production of and Changing Perceptions over the Contemporary Public Space: An Insight toward Experienced Reality Thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Newcastle University Tugce Sanli School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape January 2016 Abstract Cities have been invaded by the tools of the capitalist systems which transform the built environment while leaving the scars of this transformation on the societies. The demands of market forces generate new life styles and social contexts reshaped via relations of power and expression of political and economic hegemony. The nature of urban landscape, particularly the condition of public spaces, has shifted towards most profitable use while private interests have taken over public spaces and contemporary public spaces have emerged such as shopping malls. This study contributes to the debates that explore the ‘veiled’ side of planning and hegemonic relations of power in decision making processes that actually in a strong relation with cultural structuring and traditional praxis of a community. In addition, the study has a comprehensive approach by exploring societal influences emerging through power relations and their reflections on contemporary public spaces via exploring perceptions. The study conducts an investigation using qualitative methods and adopting case study approach via three shopping malls from Ankara (Turkey) to answer how urban power relations are generated and become effective on planning and production of contemporary public spaces and how the perceptions upon these public spaces are being transformed? Therefore, the study is founded on two main themes as pillars: power relations and public spaces. In addition, the empirical chapters at the end are set in parallel with the research objectives and data is gathered via archive analysis of the municipalities and interviews conducted with key informants and users of the selected cases.

  • My Jewish London: Performance and Identity in Co-Creative Documentary Practice
    My Jewish London: Performance and Identity in Co-Creative Documentary Practice Searle Kochberg This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. September 2019 Declaration Whilst registered as a candidate for the above degree, I have not been registered for any other research award. The results and conclusions embodied in this thesis are the work of the named candidate and have not been submitted for any other academic award. Word count: 41,787 words Acknowledgements and Dedication Film is a collaborative art form, and this research project put collaboration at the forefront of its creative aims. I would like to acknowledge the great help and support I received from a wide variety of individuals whilst working on this research project. My first thanks go to six friends and collaborators who – with great enthusiasm – threw themselves into this research project. They are – in order of appearance – Josh, Roberto, Ed, Nick, Dave and Robin. It is quite an ‘ask’ in a world still rife with anti-Semitism and homophobia to request that collaborators appear on camera to communicate their (largely gay) male Jewish experiences on the streets of London. That they did so, and fed into the whole film project from preproduction through to post editing feedback with such generosity and creativity, I can only express my deep gratitude. Secondly, there are the colleagues and students who helped me realise the films behind the scenes: thank you all. Particularly I would like to thank three colleagues in the Faculty of the Creative and Cultural Industries, Luke Robertson, David Kinnaird and Dave Jordan for their tireless support during the location shooting and editing.
